Donate Today to Protect Biodiversity in Georgia

The slideshow above includes photos of rare, threatened, and endangered species found at the Canoochee Bogs. Scroll over each photo for more information.

Three pitcher plant species, seven orchid species, two Georgia endemic plants, Georgia's state reptile, and Neotropical migratory birds thrive at the Canoochee Bogs in Southeast Georgia. One of the highest quality remaining seepage bogs in Georgia, the protection of this land is imperative to protecting biodiversity.

With your help, the Oconee River Land Trust will purchase a conservation easement on 50 acres of prime bog habitat. This easement will permanently remove development rights while ensuring access for restoration activities, such as prescribed fire, pitcher plant propagation, and scientific study. With your help, this fragile environment will continue to thrive.
